The nature of the impairment, date reported to FDNY, compensatory measures implemented, and restoration date

Answer

FDNY requires documentation of the impairment details, the FDNY notification date, any compensatory measures (fire watch), and when the system was restored.

Question 4

A tenant on the 22nd floor requests a copy of the building's Fire Safety and Evacuation Plan. What is the FLSD's obligation under NYC Fire Code?

Accepted Answer

Provide only the floor-specific portion relevant to that tenant's floor

Answer

Tenants are entitled to the portion of the Fire Safety and Evacuation Plan relevant to their occupied floor, not necessarily the full building-wide plan.

Question 5

Which of the following changes to a building DOES NOT require the FLSD to file an amended Fire Safety and Evacuation Plan with FDNY?

Accepted Answer

Repainting of existing stairwell walls with the same color

Answer

Cosmetic changes like repainting walls with the same color do not alter fire safety systems, egress, or occupancy, so no plan amendment is required.
